I generally liked the show and especially some of the supporting characters. Audrey was likeable, especially as her evil self Mara. Duke steals the show week in and week out. Vince and Dave are good as the town's hostorians. And surprise, Dwight (former WWE superstar Edge) is a guilty favorite. BTW, his partner Christian shows up in the last season. Gloria's acerbic wit always brought a smile as did several other semi regulars.
The issue starts to warp downhill when Audrey's original persona takes over after William comes along. Mara is the bad girl version of Audrey and takes everyone along for the ride. She eventually causes Duke's love Jennifer to die.
The final season comes along and everything goes to hell. The big baddie turns out to be Croatoan (played by William Shatner of all people) who turns out to be Audrey/Mara's power hungry father. Troubles pop out of the woodwork like rain from the sky and the town is doomed.
While several of the characters get bittersweet sendoffs, Duke becomes a unnecessary casualty with a crappy end. And dear old dad has been banished but not before realizing the error of his ways (a crap end considering how evil he was).
So basically a 9 for the first three and a half seasons and a 5 for the remaining episodes.
